I have a Nitro BMW with remote start....

For some reason none of the god forsaken wires will shut the remote start off....

"foot brake" doesnt
and
"Hand Brake" doesnt

with +or- nothing !!

Anyone dealt with one of these before?

with my alarm, the "green" wire (bundled with the pedal and handbrake wires) has to be hooked to 12V (alternator)

Sorry, but sometimes you get what u pay for. Something has to go out the window when the alarm is that dirt cheap with a pair of 2 ways. Maybe it was QC.

I have installed that alarm for a customer who bought it online because they thought it was specifically designed for BMW. It went on a 2000 BMW 318. In all honesty it was one of the worst alarms I have installed in my life. But on my install, everything did work.

Let me ask you this..... I might be looking for a feature that doesnt exist cause this thing is CRAPPY !!!!!

When you installed the"Fully functional one" did the remote start shut off when you hit the brake or anything !?!

oh and it really did not like being hooked up to the tach wire.
